Optical Illusion

Sometimes I can suffer from eBay tunnel vision. I get fixated on a card and do whatever I can to win it. So was the case for this Bay laundry tag card.....

I really liked this card except for the fact that it says Boston Red Sox in huge font right in front. When I initially put the bid on the card my eyes saw a nice low numbered Bay card that I didn't have. I placed my bid and moved on. When I got a notification that I won the card I was happy, but noticed my error right away.

Normally I stay away from non Pirate issue cards after a guy moves on. This is more for monetary reasons than bitterness as I have better ways to allocate my money.

Either way I'm still happy to own this card as it is getting harder and harder for me to add Bay cards to my collection. I think I still count it as a Pirate.....
